DON’T WAIT FOR BREAKDOWN
Writer Gives Reasons Why It Pays
to Have Regular Times for
Physical Examinations.
Most people have had the experience
of going to a doctor for an examina
tion at some time in their lives, some
have hud to go many times. Usually
they have gone because there was
something wrong with them, pain,
fever, a cough, a rash or what not, but
anyway, something for the doctor to
study, give u name to und prescribe
for. But Imagine the factory manager
who waits for, the machinery in his
plant to break down before be gives
thought to having it overhauled—how
long would he keep his job? Is his
machinery more important or more
liable to accidents than that of your
body? Don’t you think it would pay
to have it overhauled before the break
down comps and to see if the machin
ery is really being run efficiently?
In Hygela, Dr. Haven Emerson, pro
fessor of public health In Columbia uni
versity, gives reasons enough to con
vince the most skeptical that health ex
aminations pay, not only In increased
health but also in dollars and cents.
“It has grown^to be a custom" for peo
ple who employ men and women in
large numbers In shops and factories
“to have each new employee examined
to see If he or she is in sound health."
And again: “Many of the unions are
requiring an annual health examina
tion of their members, because they
have found this the best way to pre
vent the Illnesses which cost their sick
benefit funds so much,” If these peo
ple who are in big business find It
worth while and economical there ia
probably something in It.

STILL AFTER BOLL-WEEVIL
Department of Agriculture Experts
Looking Into Another Scheme
for Pest's Extermination.
An attempt to attack the conquering
cotton boll-weevil by more subtle
means than have hitherto been em
ployed Is about to be started by the
Department of Agriculture. Such
crude methods as gassing and poison
ing having been Ineffective, the Insect
Is going to he lured to his doom
throngh his sense of smell. At least
sneh Is the hope of the department
experts.
A research Is about to he begun to
And out If there be any particular
odor or emanation from the cotton
plant which attracts the weevil. If
such Is found, It will he studied until
the chemical substances which cause
Its action are Isolated. It Is hoped
these may then be made synthetically
and used to lure the pest of the cotton
Aelds from the cotton to poison baits
or else to cause him to raise a family
before the cotton la developed enough
to furnish them with proper means of
support.—By Science Service.
8chools in Philippines.
The Philippine Islands have a total
of 8,174 schools, public and private,
with an approximate enrollment of
1.100,000, according to the bureau of
education and the superintendent of
private schools. It Is estimated that
the Philippines have a population of
2,500,000 children of school age.
Public schools alone number 7,641
and attendance reached a total of
1,094,472 during the last year, while
private schools number 532 and have
an enrollment of 64,835,
Eighty-Ave per cent of the private

Institutions, and only 15 per cent sec
ular. Seventy-seven per cent of the re
ligious private schools are Catholic,
while the remaining 8 per cent are
Protestant.
The public school system, in which
English Is taught. Includes 24,878 teaeh

The Real Divorce Reason.
One of these solemn statistical re
searches Into the divorce question has
been completed back East, and the re
searchers have announced with proper
Impressiveness the result of their In
quiry. They announce eight principal
reasons for the prevailing Instability
of marriage. One reason is:
“Failure of contracting parties to
regard properly the solemn bonds of
matrimony.”
The other seven reasons don't mat
ter.
All divorce researches so far have
been, In a sense, failures. That Is,
none of them has yet discovered that
85 per cent of all divorces result from
refusal of the party of the second part
to appreciate properly the humorous
anecdotes told by the party of the first
part.—Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Reason for Embarrassment.
I had always been accused of doing
eccentric things, but 1 didn't realize
the truth of It until one Sunday. I
roomed Just across the street from the
church I attended. I went to church
without an umbrella. When the serv
ices were over It was pouring outside.
Having on a perfectly respectable un
derskirt. I turned my suit skirt over
my head. Half way across the street
a little boy rushed up to me and
shouted: “Teacher, you've got both
your skirts over your head!”—Ex
change.
Honor Memory of Byron.
Recently the grammar school of
Aberdeen unveiled a statue of Lord
Byron, Its most distinguished pupil,
who died a hundred years ago.
The poet went north in 1792 and be
came a pupil of the grammar school In
1796, continuing there for three years.
The places where he spent his vaca
tions as a schoolboy are much visited
by admirers.

REALLY NOT IN ANY HURRY
Not Hard to Believe Naive Statement
Made by Men Condemned to
Be Hanged.
Augustus Thomas has a story to re
late of his early days which Illustrates
the very telling effect to be achieved
by Just a few words, the New York
Herald says. Thomas was then an
advance ugeut, working the territory
ahead of u famous mind reader of a
generation ago, and generally working
it for all it was worth. In Minnesota
he managed to land his thought di
viner on the front pages of the news
papers by asking for a reprieve for two
brothers, due to he executed for mur
der, until his psyscblc wizard could ar
rive on (tie spot, rend the minds of the
j condemned men and determine whether
the jury were good guessers In finding
them guilty.
The following day, In order to get a
good second-day story, Thomas decided
to work up further Interest lit a delay
I of tyxucutlon-—and incidentally In his
' mlnfl reader—by visiting the jail and
! having the two prisoners sign an im
portant statement to go to the gov
ernor.
“They were men of limited intelli
gence,” says Thomas, “rather Illiterate,
and so I thought it best to confine their
statement to one simple sentence. I
merely had them say: ‘We’re willing
to waif “

Pictures and Appetite*.
Christiania, Norway, has a restau
rant where the "feast of reason and
flow of soul" Is nightly associated
with crowded tables. A Norwegian
painter of repute was engaged to dec
orate the walls of the dining saloon.
When he had completed the work, he
could not obtain payment, and took
the proprietor to court.
The owner declared the pictures
were Inartistic and drove customers
away. He wanted the artist to pay for
erasing the paintings, and also to pay
for another to decorate the walls In
a more, attractive manner. Several
critics bore testimony to the excellence
of the work. While the court Is con
sidering the question, the restaurant
1* crowded nightly with guests more
critical of its pictures than of Its
viands, v

Many Indianapolis needy people go
to a certain charity worker for advice
as well as for aid. The other day a
colored woman came with a lacerated
face. She told her story in plain lan
guage. Her husband had heat her
whenever he wanted exercise. She
wanted the charity woman to tell her
how to cure him of the “fault.”
The charity worker looked at her a
few minutes. Then she said: "A man
who heats a woman needs pretty se
vere treatment. Have you a rolling
pin 7"
For a minute the colored woman
stared at her. Then she caught at
what the other woman was suggest
ing. "No. I ain't got no rollin' pin,”
She returned, "but. lady. I has got a
razor.”—Indianapolis News.
